Linas Kleiza was surprised when he saw an article that says, Lithuanian national team doctor thinks, Kleiza is ready to play full strength

Kleiza - " I just read that and i was surprised. I don't understand what NT doctor wanted to say. It's not true. I think it's a big misunderstanding (media). I am not ready, if you saw me walking, you know this. I can't even run, it needs 3 months at least. I don't know about all new methodologies, but I talked about it with many doctors, but I never heard player can recover so fast. I go to USA next week. It all happens every month or two, I can do more and more things, use my body. But I don't expect to hear something new''

Thanks for the info!

I'm just putting this out there...It already seems like the Raptors/BC are moving on from Kleiza.

Man what are we going to do with this guy?

The only positive is that Kleiza knows how to come off the bench...

& yes it does seems like were always in a bad spot with regard to injuries!

I can't honestly make any assessment about his future with the Raptors. We have seen so little and it's clear that this team needs to change so much that it is hard to tell of what use he will be. One thing for certain is that he still has a fair amount of money on that contract to just ride the bench, so I hope he'll either be involved in a positive role or moved.

Are u serious? With possible lock out he has more time then enough to go through his rebilitation. He's already half way there, every doctor that comment his situation in media say that he is doing great. It's true that he wasn't helthy during this season i suppose, but it's not his fault they let him play with injurie and wanted to see what's going to happen.

If he gets healthy in a few years and continues to work hard, I can see him being a nice 6th or 7th man off the bench while a few of our young guys continue to develop. He can provide that quick offense and his ability to play multiple positions is a nice plus.

He will be ok. I saw few articles few weeks ago and it looks hes doing fine. NT medics were surprised, he is in great shape. Kleiza said, he can't run in full strength and he must to wait so now he swimming, hits the gym and do all that stuff.

It does really suck though I really thought he was going to fill the gap at SF this year
